Limited edition 1 of 10.

This photograph shows a young Dene woman standing inside a teepee at a hide camp in Yellowknife. Natural light filters through the canvas and stretched hide, highlighting the textures of the materials and the calm, enclosed space around her.

The moment is unposed and unhurried. Rather than depicting action, the image lingers on a pause—hands at rest, attention directed outward, a quiet interval within the rhythm of camp life.

Rooted in everyday experience, the photograph reflects the closeness between people, materials, and place. It offers a gentle, contemporary view of life in the North, where tradition and daily practice exist side by side.
